Beauty Tips on How To Maintain Glamorous Skin

I wish there was a magic pill or cream that would be the answer to achieving glamorous skin. The truth is that it’s a combination of many little behaviors and habits. Hopefully you're able to identify with some “do’s” or “don'ts” so that you can start seeing a real difference in the condition of your skin!

Tip # 1: Drink 8-10 glasses of high-quality water a day, specifically purified spring or reverse osmosis water. Avoid sweet drinks – they do more harm than good to your skin. Consider drinking tea instead: teas rich in antioxidants are especially beneficial for the skin and protect against premature aging. Green organic teas, herbal teas bring other benefits as they are anti-inflammatory.

Tip #4: Detox on a regularly basis – drink green vegetable juices, green smoothies which are all great for detox. Learn more about detoxifying your body/skin and the Lemonade Diet from the book “The Complete Master Cleanse” by Tom Woloshyn.

Tip #5: Drink all liquids during the day time. Drinking at night can cause morning puffiness.

Tip #6: Protect your skin from sunburn: it breaks down collagen and generates free radicals that accelerate aging. Make sure you wear long sleeve cotton shirts and white pants from 11.a.m. to 5 p.m. in the summer. You should also apply Vika's Essentials Certified Organic “Prodigal Sun” Serum and Vika’s Essentials Certified Organic Raw Cream several times during the day.

Tip #7: Avoid or minimize damage from hot water and chlorine. Chlorine causes oxidative damage. The hotter the water, the more potential there is for damage because chemical reactions increase as the temperature increases. Hot water may cause your skin to age faster. Adjust your water temperature to be a bit cooler, limit your showers to one per day, decrease your soak time in the bath, and use a charcoal filter for the shower head.

Tip #8: Be very sure to remove your makeup each evening using Vika’s Essentials Certified Organic Makeup Remover. It’s a really bad idea to flop into bed, leaving makeup on your face. Take a couple of minutes to remove it, and you’ll find your face looking and feeling younger.

Tip #9: Try to sleep on your back – it minimizes the stretching effect of gravity on the skin.

Tip # 10: Don’t smoke… for your general health’s sake and for the sake of maintaining younger looking skin. Smoking causes free radical production, which can age your skin faster.

Tip #11: Do a 3-5 minute facial self-massage every time you apply oils: it is an easy and important part of any beauty regime to keep wrinkles at bay. Besides softening the skin, facial massages can also stimulate blood circulation and remove dead skin. Here are a few links for you to check out:

Always remember: healthy-looking, radiant skin is a result of a well-rounded lifestyle consisting of exercise and a healthy diet. Health, as you know, is everything we eat, do, say, hear, and see. Healthy eating habits, as well as a positive open mind, will help to prepare your skin to accept the oils better.

Applying skin care products carefully is very important for their effectiveness:

Use exfoliating scrubs occasionally to remove dead skin (people with dry sensitive skin should not use it more than once a week). Vika’s Essentials Certified Organic Exfoliating Facial Scrub is very gentle and effective for exfoliation.

Take special care of the skin around your eyes because it is very delicate, and it is where age is most noticeable. Apply Vika’s Essentials Certified Organic Rosa Dew Eye Serum by gently tapping the skin under your eyes (use your ring finger) from the outside towards your nose.
